si begg is not a rock band - but he definitely knows how to rock the house! 2001 original pressing

dear passenger, welcome aboard the new drehmoment spaceship >>rueckwaerts im uhrzeigersinn<<. we are going to travel through space and time expanding the frontiers of our knowledge by exploring the musical galaxy were in and, by the nature of our majestic universe, finding ourselves in a well known yesterday! from cosmic disco to planet ebm, with a short stop on space station electro, flying across soundtrack like sci-fi tunes and last but not least visiting home planet earth for a nip of pop rock!

a standout track for us is >fantasy<, which was never released on 12inch but despite this has been a djs favourite for over 30 years. the lush layering of instruments and percussion create a track that sounds as fresh today as it would have in 1975. after citing this as one of their favorite records of all time, faze action took this track and have given us some excellent edits which add extra dancefloor elements while keeping the integrity of the original

no, not 7 dwarfs - but 4 giant techno tracks!

quotes say more than a 1000 promotional words: dubfire: >excellent!< / stephan bodzin: >monster remix package! love it, play it, chart it!< / d julz: >oxia remix is hotttt!< / stephan hinz: >i love oxias and martins mixes... will play and play and play!< / laurent garnier: >great remixes but i still like the original best<

essential tech-house interpretation of the jazz standard! tip ! at the core of >take five< is a warm, fluttering piano loop that wouldnt sound out of place on a nina simone record. around these rich, faintly jazzy chords, jona builds a thrillingly direct, percussive track which nods to the passion and polish of classic 90s house music. a shuffling snare pattern and a tough, buoyant kickdrum combine with the keys to give the dancefloor a workout it wont forget. this is smart, optimistic stuff from jona, a ready-made soundtrack for hands in the air at late summers parties. >sunset< is a darker but no less seductive affair. its skeleton is a supple, minimalist groove, undercut with a raw, rangy bassline, and topped by tight snares and a steady, sibilant rush of hi-hats.

reissue of this rare italo disco track from 83. probably our last italo disco release since most of it has been bootlegged by now but we really wanted to credit giuliano saglia for this magical release. >firelight< is bouncy 80s synthesizer disco with those trademark italo sounds and vocals (also included the instrumental version). but what should get you really excited is the flemming dalum >firelight< remix. he strips it down to the minimal and builds an amazing dark and intense version that stays true to the original sound but with a modern dancefloor approach.

two great edits produced by rotterdams loud-e (who previously did an amazing edit release on magick edits & bear funk). this disco connaisseur is sharing some of his sickest and hottest edits, made out of several tracks which once were available as b-side, as obscure library album or just in very limited quantities. he is one of those young guys influenced by the scene around clone and cbs and dj’s such as i-f & baldelli. but now its his time to shine with some amazing edit work! hey mr dj!!! this song is just for you!

with their new album in the bag and slated for release this september, and a wealth of festival appearances on the horizon for the coming months, metronomy drop new single >>holiday<< this july. lyrically, it may be a humourous spotlight on fairly commonplace relationship-induced tensions, but sonically, >>holiday<< flies the flag for the darker, disenchanted elements of metronomys new long player.

on the 5th release on his label, fanu has first brought forth an electro infused romp from cycom. petrol has those 808 claps & a rumbling bassline to it, but his electro heaven is of the darker nature, booming like a drug pulsating through your veins, cooling your tension while giving you some heavy visuals. on the flipside, bad matter & martsman lock horns & show you that, you can keep the same intensity in your tracks while still experimenting with different drum kits.

after the phenomenal success of their 1st release, division recordings has been established as a label providing new innovative sounds with boundless potential in every genre. now noisia are ready to present the next installment of division: seven stitches is a slice of electric heaven, a veritable fighter pilot performing synth acrobatics & bound to hit your g force! an appropriate follow up to the bending craziness of yellow brick, seven stiches was initially commissioned for wipeout pulse (psp). sony loved it so much they decided to also feature it in the wipeout hd (ps3) game too. a tune diverse enough to satisfy on every level, throw it down amongst friends or up on stage but be sure to make it loud!

eminor#14, split up to two seperate 12es, is an almost orchestral masterpiece by amsterdam based marc neyen. it consists of deep but playful and melodical elements wrapped up in solid grooves with a pinch of abstraction. obviously a big enrichement are the great and multifaceted remixes by seph and jason emsley as well as marcs own re-interpretation

plays by loco dice, thomas schumacher, nick curly, federico molinari, agnes, alex attias, 3 channels, trickski, kiki and solomun... magazino may look like a new name but hes been around for a while, releasing records, under his real name del costa and with partner pedro goya, on well known house labels like classic, music for freaks or brique rouge. with magazino, del costa wants to follow those successes but now on his own. if >shadows<, the a-sider, is his manifesto, then hes on his way

breakin boss ed dmx supplies six tracks of freaked-out modular synth madness mangled through the macintosh into some weird high-velocity electrofunk. edmx is eds alias for the more hard and fast stuff, these tracks are experimental but with lots of sub-bass and high tempo beats with unusual grooves. edmx can be seen performing around the world, recently played in japan with breakin artists ceephax acid crew and also appeared this year at the bang face weekender, the bloc weekend party and will continue to play out globally throughout the summer

brilliant tracks again from lovebirds and winding road records. in the shadows is a pumping techno-house track with explosive vocals - and possibly one of winding roads best moments to date. it has all the right ingredients to be the tune of summer 2008, but theres no doubt its still cool enough for the discerning dj to play over and over again. this is going to be the >track of the night< in hundreds of dj sets over the next few months! theres also an instrumental included, under the name avlium. here, the vocals are stripped away to leave a slice of robot disco which is absolutely essential for the darker club djs. this track has been getting massive international dj support. the final track on the package is sarice, which injects a scintillating dose of growling underground darkness. winding road do the business again

daniel mehlhart steps up to the plate for kindischs seventeenth release, origami - an exquisitely deep, languid house jam laced with strung-out, processed spanish guitar and gently euphoric xylophone arpeggios. >origami< is languid, yes, but not exactly laid-back: its held up and propelled forward by a gently vibrating lattice of kickdrum and snare hits, through which a dubby, molten bassline and taut, time-keeping chords dreamily but determinedly flow. the perfect soundtrack to the mixed pace of summers long days and even longer nights. mehlhart harks back to his acclaimed past releases on karmarouge and neutonmusic for >alles klar alles easy<, which sees brushed drum and shaker sounds edited into a quietly explosive techno work-out with serious swing. >fata morgana< begins in a more linear, four-to-the-floor style, but those percussive flourishes quickly accrue into something more strange, and then out of the ether comes an entrancing, south american-style chorus line. the voices mingle imperceptibly with woodblock strikes and caustic snares, injecting the techno dna >fata morgana< with a sick and psychedelic voodoo funk. with this 12inch kindisch once again proves itself to be a preeminent stable for experimental, expressive dancefloor music, and daniel mehlhart affirms his status as one of our most daring and capable producers

this summer mos ferry prod. comes up with a new two-track 12inch by dapayk solo, announcing the release of his second album >devils house< in late september. the title track on side a is already giving directions for this journey – provided that theres a proper bass response – >frickelsound< with affection to the little details, in particular with regards to the bass frequencies. but knowing dapayk thats hardly surprising, by now ... on the b side he presents >a saw attacks< - a track like a recapitulation of certain minimal elements that are around for quite a while now. but only the beginning is a typical sportive staccato theme. after a while a full-stereo sawtooth sound and a demoniac vocal sample take the lead, pushed by a strong punchy kick drum and accompanied by a sounddesign of clicks and sweeps

what a package! the 12th release of knee deep usa brings a whole heap of different styles. from the disco-ish knee deep mix, through the haunting deep & stabby jamie lewis remixes, onto the french styled lorenz rhode remix. there s plenty of music for all on here! raaah, all mixes are fucking bad but i think the lorenz rhode is something special for the white island! maximum support from me! grant nelson thanks. all mixes are working especially the lorenz remix. will play. thanks for the music as always. cj mackintosh nice tune.. like the kneedeep mix, good to hear some soulful house of this quality.. another quality tune from a quality label.. kid massive lovin knee deep mix. dr steve im lovin this , great summer groove james blond

jerome sydenhams mighty dub remix of hideo kobayashis >the puzzle< is simple energetic and very efficient track. ablaze with stabs and a funky beat it does nothing less than thrown you into a state of tech-house frenzy. jerome sydenham dons his techno hat to express his interpretation of the heart of darkness in >congo<. big kicks, punchy bass lines and a deep house hook make >congo< not only fresh in sydenhams production approach but also very accessible to all those who are tech inclined

morris audio 62 is a joint venture from two of the most outstanding greek producers (em well, living both in berlin now….): ekkohaus and gummihz! and they present what they do best: ekkohaus (hot with his cargo edition release) gives us two great summer tunes, house stylee, with fat bouncing basslines. and gummihz (big with his releases on mobilee) turns >our thing< into a minimal dancefloor smasher – reduced to the max, but adding highlights where necessary, this track will be

played by sebo k, karotte... layo and bushwacka! are equally at home turning out summery housey affairs as they are peak time stormers, and >now is the time / the time was then definitely fits into the latter category. a double header, the loose concept behind the release is to represent the sound of the dancefloor now versus the sound from a few years ago. >now is the time< has its feet placed firmly in 2008 - a crisp, clean techno bassline, topped by hand claps, snatches of breathy female vocal, and full of an irresistible array rattles, whooshes and other indefinable sounds that the duo seem to pull from the depths of their imaginations. it breaks with some simple electronic sounding chords and a stirring martin luther king sample that makes this record so memorable. >the time was then< is based around that same sample, but gives a cheeky nod to a few years back, with a bassline and keys that wouldnt have sounded out of place on their seminal ‘night works’ album. it never goes too far towards nostalgia, though, and either would rip up a late night dancefloor

played by karotte, l.garnier, steve bug, sebo k, mike shannon, layo, d julz !!! we are pretty sure that maetrik sent us his latest ep from a grow room orbiting the earth. his space chronic ep combines the innovation of techno with a sense of fun missing from your average four on the floor banger. its a little shocking, but the results have been exactly what wed expect from the dallas native - mass freaking on the dancefloor. the albums lead single, sex with bass, explores the type of low frequencies that usually occur when suspension bridges tear apart. all the while a subsonic voice repeats its desire to have sex… with bass! stab jockey throws a techno curveball at the start, utilizing rhythmic synths over a simple beat. dont trust it! midway through, the line clears out for full-frequency busting bass drops. on the flip, crawl machine immediately builds a head-nodding groove that wastes no time firing off its boosters – half the track is a sneaky buildup. by the time the kick slams back in, youre already back in orbit. cuban born maetriks techno pedigree is bulletproof.

after the returning of swr in may 2008 with the >never forget ep< swr strikes back just 1 month later with the next release: >i stay hard<. techno artist sven wittekind stays for hard techno like no other artist in europe, since 2001 he brings his supporters worldwide the hard & innovative techno sound in their recordcases. he would never change to minimal like the others: he stays hard, fresh & innovative in what he is doing! both tracks on this release are well done, with a good feeling for the dancefloor, but also for listening at home or in the car. enjoy the nightflight and stay hard

waves of human suffering is exactly what the title implies, a non stop assault to the senses decrying the horrors humanity ritualistically bestows upon itself. but amidst the controlled chaos created by benumb leader pete ponitkoff and vulgar pigeons alumni jeff lenormand and john gotelli, if you listen beyond the walls of intense riffing, double time percussion and hardcore ethos, you can clearly hear that agenda of swine optimistically retains hope for future change. the best grinding metal has always been punk as fuck!

mri first came to prominence in 2000 with the release of the ground breaking rhythmogenesis on forcetracks and his acclaimed mille plateaux productions. due to the massive reaction drawn from the contribution on the latest 12, take kare not acid, mri returns back to the resopal imprint with two new tracks to redesign the past and further the future. title track bateau is a banging builder that is reminiscent of the current house flavored tracks but resonates the touch of classiness and depth of mid 90s reduced techno arrangements. decayed bassdrum, pad, chords and a break - distinctly marked with modern hyper percussive tendencies, based in between house and techno soundscapes this a-side is a pure bomb. the flipside ivre by all means reaching the dancefloors of today. cascading rhythms build subtly behind the fuelled drive of bass, and druggy vocals fully defined by mris signature formula. all in all, bateau ivre tunes up in fresh formula towards techy driven reduced microhouse, bring through a soothing and completely refreshing 12that will be sure to please old and new fans alike. ltd. stock

knock knock, bang bang! minimal neo tech drama is just kicking your doors off! 5.4,3.2,1 action! our hommie jurek przezdziecki from warsaw, (poland) - is making his debut on boshke beats records and you better watch it, feel it and be into it! (we will not give you here a death threat ,but we were close to-please admit it) 10 years of producing under the different projects like big wigs, epi centrum and mass turbo! and lately you could taste of his sound on recently released maxis on whirlpoolsex, bretzel, jacek sienkiewiczs recognition and living records and here is his first boshke debut. we highly suggest to watch this interesting producer closer! he manages to seamlessly lead us through his special and unique fusion between minimal techno and neo trance, dressed with his unique sonic synthesises and topped with a top class sound production. on the b-side is a contemporary re-work of the sink master by maestro robert babicz (aka rob acid), speiced with the dancefloor power and a big roberts character this remix destined for all the modern contemproary djs on the planet earth!.

medias have stated recently that the number of millionaires is still rising every year... funny or scandalous? while others are sitting greedily on their fortune, one of them, kind of musically obsessed to say the least, keep to share his assets with the lucky few that will hold a part of his twelve inches serie in their hand. still getting another round of applause for the third offering that impressed quality djs from all circles (from milez benjiman to marc mac, passing by prins thomas to chateau flight), the selfmade millionaire is gaining more supporters release after release. this time, he is tributing the greatest boxer of all time and his legendary shuffle techniques in a funky boogie way with nearly 8 minutes of irresistible feelgood grooviness. many things have been said about this highly influential character, but few know that his boxing moves would have originated some freestylin’ breakdance figures. one more reason why the milionaire wanted to encourage you to do the ali...wait to flip the record to get another punch! even gave you diamonds is a restless groove that could transform an egyptian mummy into a marathon party goer with its numerous hooks, clavinet stabs and powerful catchy vocals. the tune seems to be about a guy whos really tired of his posh lady who cannot get enough of all her fancy gimmicks. would our milionaire gone autobiographical on this one? who knows...

the legendary johnny dangerous, of beat that bitch fame, returns to nite grooves with another spoken stomper. clear my mind is a dark infectious hook riddled tech track whose remix by japans dazzle drums turns it into a dancefloor frenzy. russian federations techno minimalist & hip hop producers tripmastaz take this tune all the way down to infernal depths creating an almost nightmarish sensation. this aint for the faint of heart but made rather for the dungeon of your dreams

on the remix front we have three &#128,&#152,master blenders onboard. the first remix is by word of mouth, aka graham lord, one half of top house act audiowhores. second we have scope, aka ric mcclelland has worked his magic on the vocal to superb effect and created one of the coolest tracks you &#128,&#153,ll hear all summer. last but not least we have glide and swerve, formed 3 years ago by ivan clarke and simon glantz, have turned in a stunning chill mix perfect for ibiza&#128,&#153,s legendary sunsets.

limited clear vinyl! once again the dumbster returns with another belter, and what a rework to choose. the mighty afx classic from 1990. keeping to the original but updating it just enough for the floors for 2008!

follow up to the minimal house tune >friends of heidi<, which was played by a all cool major jocks. here the promotion has just begun, but it sure will be as big as heidi!

again a eastern europe e.p on dolls with techno stars from 3 diffirent countries. dejan milicevic is probably the most welknown of these 3 techno pioneers from the east. but veztax and edy are also one of the early and most active techno pioneers in their own countries. a techno e.p. in the true eastern europe format. groovy and danceable, with good structured rhythms and stabs. allready played and charted by valentino, umek, carl cox, dejan, sinisa tamamovic, mladen tomic, marko nastic, etc. etc.

conan returns with his typically tough but clubby grooves. massive support from the people who matter

ironik might be the new kid on the block, but the dj/producer/mcs heartfelt message has grabbed the attention of an entire generation with 5 million total views on youtube and over 2 millions views on his myspace. stay with me, was written by ironik for his younger sister, fuelled by his fear for her growing up in a society rife with knife crime and violence. effortlessly straddling the line between r&b, grime, pop and hip hop, it is already enjoying support at radio and tv.

modern techno track in the vein of omar s but with the production skills of martin buttrich

elevate, if you remember, is the deep house label from daniel bell that put out a series of influential records in the late 90’s including the first 12 from theo parrish. these releases are still very much in demand and are going for high collectors prices online. it is now the summer of 2008 and elevate is proud to present a new release, this time from baaz. baaz is a new artist with only a few releases so far including tracks on sascha dive’s deep vibes label and a full e.p. on sthlmaudio. baaz may hail from southern germany but you would swear he grew up in the same detroit neighborhood as mike huckaby or moodymann when you hear his warm, gentle and deeply hypnotic house music.

alec storey has been making quite a name for himself in techno & electro circles since his debut release on kracktronik back in 2006. renowned for his no-holds-barred live shows (which often incorporate stunning demonstrations of his considerable skills as a drummer), he has also been making considerable progress in the studio, with new equipment and new techniques. the troglodyte ep is a distillation of all these things and more, and although calling it refined might be stretching it a bit (its not called the troglodyte ep for nothing), its certainly fair to say that he has honed his sound into a near-perfect combination of brutal beats, bowel-busting bass, and mind-mangling sound design, all presented at slightly-higher-than-normal tempos, guaranteed to get the pulse racing. for remix duties we called in two heavyweight producers! carl finlow (aka silicon scally) has been turning out immaculate electro, house and techno for over 10 years now, with releases & remixes on such respected labels as mute, warp, playhouse, satamile & scsi-av . here he turns troglodyte into an off-kilter, but driving, electro workout full of twists and turns. kracktronik fave volum doesnt disappoint either. he drops the tempo and increases the spook factor by a few notches, and as always his intricate programming reveals layer after layer of nutritious electronic brain-food.

we are very proud to present the debut of 21 year old tim toh, a fresh producer with such a huge talent and character in his tracks, we guess, we didn t hear for the last decade in house music! that s a big goal to claim, but it s also the reason, we signed him for a three-part series called >join the resistance< and this is part 1. the a-side is like an intro to the whole series, starting with some charming detroitish-sequences and a smooth piano, while the beat shapes itself naturally out of the track with raw percussions and a thumpin kick... from then on it twists and turns into sweet eternity…timeless! the b-side is beatdown rhythmic wizzadry and a tool par excellance, polyrhythmic percussions and a beat that will shake every floor you dare to play it

after four very successfull collaborations between jason little and dj rush / felix krocher / pet duo & kaoz that shook the hard techno scene to the fullest its now time for jason to go solo. and with great succes too! he shows his special hard techno sound with a wink back to the classic hardcore style, but still sounding fresh and new!! adrian valera remixed the title song to top it all off.

the legendary club u60311 in frankfurt has opened up a brand-new hotspot for minimal right in the heart of the city, going by the name of 311. paired with this, an affiliated label - dreielf recordings - has also been launched. the residents michael kohlbecker, one part of the saafi brothers, and frankfurts newcomer peter eilmes are releasing the fruits of their cooperation in their home studio, and putting an already-established scene hit onto vinyl with - tabasco. the original of the record impresses with its anthemic character, which may have been due to the fat bass-line and the striking trumpet. despite its monotony, a real jewel for every record case and just the stuff to get happiness dripping from the club ceiling. the remix by alexi delano, on the other hand, is somewhat deeper and more melodic at the same time, but still contains all the ingredients necessary for a proper shot of tabasco. sonic monogamy or fat kick basses make this remix unique. the dominant trumpet and the scraping percussion of the berliner andre crom make this remix an absolute guarantee of ecstasy. tabasco is hot and burns like hell!

after two amazing releases on the enemyltd series by zahn and recently the joel mull its no time for the labels strongest artists to represent on this various artists ep. rob dowell steps up from lobotomy records, alessio mereu from italy already showcased his perfect style on analytic with his bomb ep. decimal is the next hype on enemy, he is doing extremly tight production and will have a new wave of very high class tunes released after the summer. his track on this ep is a good taste of what to come! last but not least zahn himself tops it all of and goes on where enemyltd 04 left us. in not so many words: a great ep!!!

played by technasia and in the charts of dave clarke !! corazon was released on muller records 2060. loved by many djs as state of the art detroit techno. here we go with new remixes from detroit master claude young, the well known alex bau widely respected for his driving techno style and at last but not least the head of parsec records mister robotnik himself. 3 mixes, all different, all funky.

played by : ricardo villalobos, raresh, cle, 2000 and one, italoboyz, daniel stefanik, c-rock, agnes, efdemin, mathias kaden, cassy.... + sascha dive remix!!! nektarios danias alias nekes, co-founder and co-carrier of oslo records, presents his first ep: cristal. the main track is a top class club tool. with little, but tangible elements nekes creates an extatic ambience with high explosion risk. the same can be said about the sascha dive remix, that once again reflects the huge talent of this young german house producer. modernity combined with a classic touch and a big portion of deepness. waitin carries on with this energy and takes it to the morning hours. a driving track, full of soul.

this laser lights shows to very colorful sides to glenn...with the grainy but ethereal chords & of the powerfull progressive house workout laser lights of blue to the deep dubby electronica that is chronicles, a simply monsterous ep!!

u.f.x. is formed by a group of creative guys from neaples, that gives us this magnific soulful track. classic, but with a powerful rhythm. live bassline and guitars very skilfully made. the great voice of rose marriot perfectly accompany all the melodies of this huge track!

songs from the source is a lost and found 1973 recording of the source family. these twelve songs were recorded live in the hollywood hills as a rehearsal for a concert date that spirit of 76 - aka yahowah 13, the savage sons of yahowa, yodship, and firewaterair, now known as children of the sixth root race - had at the whisky. a 1/4 tape copy of the recording was found in chicago in 2006, though no one is really sure how it got there. djin aquarian, rhythm guitarist and songwriter for spirit of 76, recalls being sent on a mission to chicago later in 1973, where he believes he left the tape with an old friend. djin wrote most of the songs in the year before he joined with the source, as part of his solo mystical quest to help enlighten the world before it might annihilate itself, adding, im glad both the album and the world are still here.though this rehearsal wasnt meant to be released at the time, there are probably no other recordings as complete of the band doing these songs. the spirit of 76 had a different sound than the one yahowah 13 made with yahowa. songs from the source has more r n b grooved energy, with splashes of synth and organ, a female vocal chorus and streamlined fusion rhythms backing the uniquely yahowan lyrical populism of songs like godmen and lost dead but hoping. songs from the source is a miraculous missing piece of the sources positive musical movement. the members of yahowah 13 (djin, sunflower on bass, octavius on drums) were joined by family members ahom, aquariana, cinderella, rhythm, vibration, and zoroaster on lead guitar, to create the ecstatic sound of spirit of 76.
